Transformation behavior and reversible shape memory effct of Ti-Ni-Cu alloys with various Cu content has been investigated by means of electrical resistivity measurement, differential scanning calorimetry. X-ray diffraction and strain gage sensor. The transformation sequence in Ti-Ni-Cu alloys substituted by Cu for Ni up to 5at.% occurs to $B2{\leftrightarrow}B19^{\prime}$ and it proceeds in two stages by addition of 10 at.%Cu. i.e. $B2{\leftrightarrow}B19{\leftrightarrow}B19^{\prime}$. But the content of Cu increases up to 20at.%, it has been transformed in one stage ; $B2{\leftrightarrow}B19$. The shape change of Ti-40Ni-10Cu alloy which was constrain aged in circular form bended in $B2{\leftrightarrow}B19$ transformation but it spreaded out in $B19{\leftrightarrow}B19^{\prime}$ transformation. The amount of reversible shape change (${\Delta}{\varepsilon}$) of Ti-47Ni-3Cu alloy constrain aged at $400^{\circ}C$ after solution treatment has a maximum value of about $5.6{\times}10^{-3}$, but that of cold rolled and constrain aged specimens exhibits a little value independent of Cu concentrations.

Barkhausen noise (BN) is created by the abrupt changes in the magnetization of materials under applied AC magnetizing field. These changes are known to be sensitive to residual and applied stresses. In this study, BN theory was reviewed and it was examined how BN intensity was affected by simultaneous stress, hardness and microstructural changes. Also, magnetoelastic effect was used to evaluate residual stresses through carrying out the cantilever beam test. An increase in BN intensity was observed when applied and residual stress changes from compression into tension. Microstructural softening by tempering also increased the amount of BN. Therefore, the quantitative evaluation of residual stress and microstructural changes will be possible, provided BN method is more studied about various materials through comparing with different stress measuring techniques.

The chip controls are investigated experimentally for the purpose of estimating cutting ability of hardened steel. In this experiment, hardened STD11 steel ($HR_c$ 60) is turned with carbide tool M20 under various cutting conditions and with several tool shapes. The main results obtained are as follows : 1) Cutting conditions of cutting speed 45m/min. feed 0.09-0.13 rev. depth of cut 0.4-0.6 are recommended for the chip excluding. 2) In case that the feed becomes larger and a lead angle of cutting tool becomes smaller, the chip excluding becomes easier. 3) It is confirmed that frank wear and crator wear on the cutting tool appear severely from about 10 min. after cutting start and chip excluding get worse.

The effect of nozzle characterristics on the mist-cooling heat transfer was investigated under the various flow conditions. Two different types of twin fluid nozzle were used, one is a $90^{\circ}$ angle tip nozzle with needle and the other is a $90^{\circ}$ angle tip non-needle nozzle. The cooling rate from the heated surface was measured and obtained the boiling curve as a function of surface temperature. An immersion sampling was employed for the measurement of droplet size of the spray. As a result of this experiment, the liquid sheet type nozzle shows better atomization when the mass ratio Mr>2.0, and collects more liquid droplets on the heated surface that results in better cooling effect. It was found that the maximum heat flux and heat transfer coefficient increased with increase in the volumetric flow rate, whereas the maximum heat flux decreased with increase in spray distance. The cooling effect depends upon the amount of collected droplet and droplet size, but it strongly depends upon the amount of collected droplet.

The shape memory effect results from the martensite transfomation of each individual grain. Thus it is necessary to study the texture and its variation. In this study the change of texture during thermal cycling and it's effect on shape memory ability are investigated. The major component of the rolling texture in the parent phase is identified (001) [110], and minor components are (112) [110], (111) [112], {hkl}<100> fiber texture is developed at $45^{\circ}$ from rolling direction. In the case of martensite phase, it is estimated that the major component is (011) [100] and the minor components are (105) [501], (010) [101] and (100) [001]. According to thermal cycling. severity of texture, especially (001) [110] component in parent phase and (011) [100] component in martensite phase are increased. The shape memory ability is increased with increase of thermal cycles and also increased as the direction of specimen approach to $45^{\circ}$ from rolling direction. After first thermal cycling the temperature of transformation can be define clearly and Ms and As are raised by thermal cycling.
